How I quit my job and became the women's
weight loss expert in Kitchener/Waterloo!
I remember the day when it was time for me to go to work. I felt paralyzed, I couldn't move, not literally but no part of me wanted to go. You see, I worked in a call center and I grew to despise the place over the years. Just the thought of me strapping on that head set had my stomach in knots. As the clock ticked and time progressed I found my mind coming up with excuse after excuse for me to "call in" but the truth was I didn't want to go at all, I never ever wanted to go back. Fear gripped me at the thought! I was afraid to quit my job I had bills and kids to support. I had responsibilities. Long story short I quit my job as a customer service representative! CSR was the title I was told. I was quite petrified because the only income I had at the time was a part time job at the Soho hotel Health Club owned by Champion Body Builder Dalton Brown. I was a front desk clerk/assistant trainer. My dream was to make it in the health and fitness industry.
The birth of my passion.
Well, allow me to back track a little so you could understand my passion. In my younger days I studied martial arts which kept me out of trouble and introduced me to fitness. I needed something to keep my mind off of my father who passed away from a stroke. Luckily I had my mom to comfort me, I was to young to completely understand the situation. Why couldn't I have a father like all the other kids? After coming to terms with the situation of not having a father, again my life was stricken with another calamity. This time it was my mother who was diagnosed with diabetes and shortly after colon cancer. She kind of hid all this from me until it was so noticeable that she had to confess, besides I was beginning to ask questions when I saw that my mother's health was failing. My mom lived a few years with these diseases but unfortunately could hold on no longer, she shared the same fate as my father. I was devastated by the loss. Why did they have to die? I was frustrated and almost ignorant to the diseases that took my parents away however this frustration and lack of ignorance fueled my studies for health and fitness. Perhaps my turning point.
My first fitness job and meeting celebrities!
Now back to my part time job at the Soho Hotel. This was actually my first job in the health and fitness industry which was pretty exciting, even more so because I frequently saw celebrities who passed through for a workout. I saw such music artists as Toni Braxton and Jewel but soon seeing celebrities became the norm. No big deal! Anyhow, I started out as front desk help and maintenance and then worked my way to becoming an assistant trainer. I then pursued a certification as a personal trainer and began training clients on my own. This then led to fitness consultations and assessments at the Soho Health Club but I was still struggling to make ends meet. I was always late with the rent and frequently threatened to be kicked out. Thankfully, I was offered a position as a personal trainer with one of the leading fitness franchises, Premier Fitness. I worked there for a number of years gaining valuable experience and dealing with a large clientele having a variety of problems from weight loss to scleroderma.
Katie my first major weight loss success!
My passion began to soar I was an avid reader, I read anything I could get my hands on. In particular, I developed a love for weight loss and after intense study I found a weight loss solution that worked. I put this solution to the test and was thrilled when my female client lost over 30lbs. This was my first major success, a walking testimonial and people were beginning to take notice. It felt great but it wasn't enough for me, I wanted to reach more fitness hopefuls than I did training at the gym.
I started writing articles to help reach more people and soon found that people were confused misinformed and didn't understand their bodies. I was thrilled when people were coming up to me and saying your articles helped me to lose weight, your articles gave me clarity. I arrived! I was the "go to guy" for health and fitness! Celebrating my small victories I still wanted to do more, trying to reach people who lived a sedentary lifestyle I started training clients in their homes. This led to the birth of my business "Chris Walker's Fitness." Now just when everything was going great I was evicted from my apartment, the land lord wanted nothing more to do with me. My success seemed to come too late. I was living in Toronto at the time and was visiting friends in Kitchener. So, I decided to move to Kitchener and stayed with a friend who put me up until I was back on my feet, heck I had no other place to go. I had enough of this health and fitness business, it was too hard to make a living, I thought to myself. I was fed up and was about to turn my back on the health industry when my friend who is now my girlfriend encouraged me to go on. Shortly after being encouraged I received a grant to start my business the proper way and I haven't looked back since! To date things have been great. I've made media appearances on Global Television, Rogers Daytime, The Record News Paper and I self published many health and fitness related articles and books. I have helped thousands of fitness hopefuls lose weight and get fit and I'm looking to change the lives of many more!

Busy Career Women:
Are you busy juggling a career and family life? Is it taking a toll on your health and draining your energy?
Are you lacking energy, too busy for the gym, not able to do the things of the past? Are you overweight, diet tired and struggling to put the pieces back together.
Life is busy. We're spending so much time doing for others we tend to forget about ourselves. Suddenly, one day we wake up and realize we don't feel as well as we used to. We're heavier, more stressed, and never seem to be able to get enough sleep.
Now we've got blood pressure issues and our cholesterol is high.
When we look in the mirror we're not seeing the same person we used to. Not so good looking. Not so thin. Now we can't bear the thought of swimsuit season. And it's getting harder to walk up a flight of stairs. It is embarrassing when you're huffing and puffing.
Weight Watcher's, Herbal Magic, Jenny Craig, Dr Bernstein and other weight loss centers are failing their clients. Coaching with Chris will get to the root of the issues preventing you from obtaining your health goals.

Chris was a great motivator. My strength improved dramatically, and even some of my chronic soreness (computer-related shoulder, stiff hip) resolved. I learned a lot about fitness.

Sincere thanks for guiding me through an amazing transformation! When we first met, I'd gained 40 lbs due to the onset of menopause and because I'd ended a 32-year smoking habit. I'd never exercised a day in my life. No one said it would be easy, but to date, I've trimmed off 17 lbs and 5½ inches, lost the belly fat, and rediscovered my hip bones! I now have strength I never knew was possible and, lo and behold, I have legs I can't help but show off! Chris, I owe it all to you and your never-ending motivation.
